After her initial surprise, Luo Xikui quickly turned to look at Pei Yumeng. Pei Yumeng had clearly seen the scene as well, and her large eyes immediately reddened.
"Mengmeng..." Luo Xikui wanted to say something to comfort Pei Yumeng, but then felt that she had said too much and was afraid of giving Pei Yumeng unwarranted hope.
Her brother clearly had no romantic feelings for Pei Yumeng, so she decided it was best not to let Pei Yumeng misunderstand and changed the subject: "Are you starting school tomorrow? When does winter break start?"
Pei Yumeng answered listlessly, then asked Luo Xikui, "Does Brother Heng have a girlfriend?"
Luo Xikui didn't know how to respond to her, caught in a dilemma. She gently patted her hand, watching helplessly as a young girl's heart was shattered right before her eyes.
Xu Ziyu drove silently, dropping Pei Yumeng off at home.
After Pei Yumeng went inside, Luo Xikui sat back in the passenger seat, looked at Xu Ziyu who was starting the car, and said, "Mengmeng was so sad just now, shouldn't you, as her cousin, at least say a few words of comfort?"
"A little girl's thoughts change in an instant, and her feelings for Aheng aren't exactly unforgettable," Xu Ziyu said casually.
"Then how could you be so sure I wouldn't change? When you went to Germany, I was a few years younger than Mengmeng is now. How could you be so confident in me?" Luo Xikui said with a helpless smile.
“It’s different. You’ve only ever had eyes for me since you were little. Mengmeng’s interest is short-lived. There are so many men she’s called ‘husband’ that you could line up from here to the Binhai Bridge.” Xu Ziyu occasionally saw his cousin’s WeChat Moments, which were full of handsome men. A while ago, she probably watched a military program and started to swoon over Xiang Hengxi, who was in the army.
"How can you talk about your own sister like that?" Luo Xikui playfully slapped his leg, which made her feel a little more at ease.
As he said, she also knew that Pei Yumeng's favorite young men had changed one after another, and this 'womanizing' habit was just like Uncle Pei.
Ahem, this is something she overheard Aunt Xu and Uncle Pei arguing and bringing up old grievances.
However, Pei Yumeng's personality is a good thing; she probably won't be sad for too long.
"Speaking of which, who exactly is that woman? Have you seen her?" Luo Xikui turned her attention to the main matter and asked Xu Ziyu.
Xu Ziyu shook his head. He had been back in China for three months and hadn't seen Xiang Hengxi many times. Xiang Hengxi had been in the military the whole time, and he had only visited him once when he was injured at the end of November.
"I feel like there's something strange about that woman." Luo Xikui frowned, unable to figure it out.
“She is blind,” Xu Ziyu said incisively.
"Huh?!" Luo Xikui's eyes widened as she looked at Xu Ziyu in surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "Is she blind?"
“When she turned to look at Aheng, her eyes were unfocused, and if I’m not mistaken, the short silver stick in her hand was a folding cane for the blind.”
Luo Xikui's eyes widened even more, her mouth agape: "Tuantuan, you're amazing, you knew it just by looking at it."
She had taken a close look at the woman and found that apart from her slightly dim eyes, she was not unusual.
This is even stranger. Luo Xi Kui frowned and asked, "What is the relationship between my brother and her?"
"You'll have to ask Aheng about that," Xu Ziyu said calmly, looking ahead. "But it's safe to assume that Aheng likes her."
Luo Xikui's beautiful eyes widened. "How did you know?"
"A man's self-awareness." Xu Ziyu felt that the way he looked at Cheng Ming back then was the same way Xiang Hengxi looked at that man just now.
